I picked up the Mackie 1604....

Really LOVE how it sounds...

But I notice after a few hours the things is so bloody hot you can fry eggs on it....

Do u think its harmful to leave a small fan on *directly* beside it?

I have just tried this tonight and it stays really cool even after being on for several hours....

I also did what Furnee suggested (leaving some video tapes underneath so it frees up the vent)
